Childhood Obesity: Not My Kid!

Obviously, Advertising Is Somehow at Fault

Imagine that. "Nine out of ten parents polled by Consumer Reports said that childhood obesity is a problem in the U.S. But when asked about their own child, 50% of parents with overweight kids failed to recognize the problem."

Perhaps such delusion explains why so many parents allow Little Johnny to cram Fudge Rounds down his piehole while playing Xbox. Then again, perhaps we should ban junk-food advertising to adults.
